Support get/set the whole row of metaheader+weight+optimizer from backend for checkpoint saving/loading (#4429)

Summary:

X-link: facebookresearch/FBGEMM#1495

X-link: pytorch/torchrec#3148

# Context
In our current KVZCH cp loading flow, we will keep hold of weight_id, weight, optimizer tensors throughout the checkpoint loading lifecycle, and at the end when all these tensors are downloaded in hand, we will explicitly call "apply_state_dict" to actually write them by chunk to the backend to ensure id->weight and id->opt are mapped correctly. The problem is when we have large number of weights, we will be short of memory since we need to hold all 3 tensors (double memory issue). To solve this challenge, we are going to save the whole row of (metaheader + weight + opt) as the same "weight" tensor during checkpoint saving, and when downloading the checkpoint, we will be able to extract the id from the header, and directly write the weight+opt part to the backend by id. When loading cp for optimizer, we added a no-op KVTensor, so it won't need to write to backend for optimizer states again.

# This diff only contains backend change
* updated dram backend and mem pool, so it can return the metaheader + weight + optimizer_state together, as well as set them back to backend (use pointers to skip metaheader part when write weight+opt to backend)
